While residing in Broken Arrow Oklahoma Carter Hargrave was an instructor at the Oklahoma Karate Academy where he studies and taught Tae Kwon Do and a form of Korean Ju Jitsu known as Kuk Sool. It was also at this school that one day a student of the Bruce Lee School in California showed up to speak with the chief instructors of the School.
During that meeting Hargrave approached the visiting instructor and expressed an interest in the teachings of Lee, and thought that would be the end of it. A few weeks after this meeting a parent of one of Carter Hargrave’s Kuk Sool students that Hargrave taught invited him to his home to meet someone. That someone was the same Bruce Lee School teacher. Immediately upon his arrival the instructor asked Hargrave “I hear you are pretty good at Tae Kwon Do and Kuk Sool, so lets see what you've got” meaning he was requesting to spar Hargrave. As Hargrave kicked and punched and maneuvered about he did not really notice that he was not coming even close to striking the instructor of Bruce Lee’s art known as Jeet Kune Do.
